Use every mode the camera has all the way to full manual.<br /> Shoot anything but shoot lots. Upload and look at the photos one by one.<br /> <br /> If you're getting different lenses with the camera mount every lens and shoot with it as well. Look for proper exposure, auto focus and general operating condition of the lenses and the body. <br /> <br /> If the camera has been properly cared for there should be no problems with it. <br /> <br /> I generally don't recommend buying used but if you can actually use the camera first and you find everything is satisfactory then go for it.<br /> <br /> Good Luck, Jim Well yes I have some advice.

Shoot anything but shoot lots. Upload and look at the photos one by one.

If you’re getting different lenses with the camera mount every lens and shoot with it as well. Look for proper exposure, auto focus and general operating condition of the lenses and the body.

If the camera has been properly cared for there should be no problems with it.

I generally don’t recommend buying used but if you can actually use the camera first and you find everything is satisfactory then go for it.

Good Luck, Jim

Take a CF card with you and do some tests with it using what ever lens the individual is selling with it.

Take the CF card home and using the card reader on your computer (or a USB 2.0 reader you can buy for under $10), look at the results of the images you shot on your large computer monitor.

The DMC-FZ28 is NOT a dSLR. It's a "superzoom", or point and shoot camera with a long zoom. What it lacks compared to the XT (or any other dSLR) is a big sensor, optical viewfinder, and ability to interchange lenses.
